The shakeup towards the middle to bottom of the list occurs with the not entirely unexpected announcement by John Kerry that he will not seek his party’s nomination once again. However, since this is John Kerry we are talking about, a flip flop is always possible, and thus he will remain in the top 14.

The one GOP change made is that I have decided to flip flop the positioning of Brownback and Huckabee, now that Brownback is formally in the race and based on his impressive showing at the March for Life in Washington, D.C. this past week.
